Rawa Kesari

By shriya on Dec 19, 2007 in Sweets & Desserts

Rawa Kesari is my all time favorite sweet and it’s a very popular sweet in south India.Its easy to make when you have guests in home and in festival times.My friend kathija shared this recipe with me.This is the first sweet I made when I started cooking .The tricky part in this recipe is while adding water in to the rawa you will get lumps so to avoid it add water by mixing it continuosly in low flame otherwise you can use dal masher to avoid lumps.
